Hey guys,
I've been in Indiana for the last 5 weeks helping my Uncle with Cancer/Pnemonia.....Agent Orange from Vietnam caused this whole thing. Going to have to pull the plug on him come Monday if a miracle does not happen......Anyways the day before I left to go there I just had put a new
Z06 Maf set-up w/translator on my Buick. Went and checked the engine oil and it was kind of milky. Oil over full and coolant low......hmmm? Thought it was a head gasket, done a compression test and all cylinders were within 6 lbs of each other....154 lowest & 160 highest readings. So head gaskets good around the cylinder areas. Started removing the heads before I left but did not get finished. Todays first day back, probably start back on the heads this weekend maybe. I hope it's not a cracked head!....Aluminum ones are expensive. I have not run the car hot nor have I ran much boost (only around 19psi). I'll keep ya posted though. Man if it's not one thing it's another! :cry:

Sorry to hear about your uncle.

Good luck with your car. I just went through a head gasket fiasco with my truck.

Thanks Guys..........My Uncle passed away this morning. He was the only Father Figure I ever had. So I'll be outta town again for a few days. Then I will finish tearing the Buick down to figure out how hurt it is.

Well Uncle Jr did pass away. :-(
Anyways I'm back from the Funeral and am tearing into the Buick. Heads are off. Nothing wrong with them that I can tell, gaskets were good. Everything looks fine??? Where did the H2O in my oil come from??? Could the aluminium heads be cracked.....they look fine. I never upped the boost enough to really hurt anything. This is driving me nuts. This would suck if I had a small crack in the block! I'm out of guesses here............anyone got any ideas???
